history

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 48 eligible voters voted to remain with Germany and 89 for membership in Poland. Wollentschin remained with the German Empire . Between April 27, 1936 and 1945 the place was called Wollendorf OS. On April 1, 1939, Wollendorf was incorporated into Ammern OS . Until 1945 Wollendorf was part of the Rosenberg OS district .

In 1945 Wollendorf came under Polish administration and was renamed Wolęcin and attached to the Silesian Voivodeship. With the division of the Silesian Voivodeship into the Opole Voivodeship and Kattowitz, the place became part of the Opole Voivodeship. From 1975 to 1998 Wollentschin was in the Czestochowa Voivodeship . In 1999, after the dissolution of the Czestochowa Voivodeship, the place came back to the Opole Voivodeship and the restored Powiat Oleski .

In 2006 Wollentschin and the municipality of Radlau were officially bilingual and in September 2008 bilingual place name signs were put up.
